According to the 2007-08 Survey of Income and
Housing, of people aged 15 years and over, over one-quarter (27%) had been
living in their current home for 15 years or more, 30% had been there for 5-14
years, and 43% had moved in the last five years (recent movers).
Some groups of people are more mobile than others. In 2007-08, among
recent movers aged 15 years and over, almost half (46%) had moved once, 19% had
moved twice, 17% three times, 8% four times, and 11% had moved five times or
more.
Jeannette Walls tried to count how many times she moved when
she was only four years old. She lost count at 11.
